Question

when using your body for lifting heavy objects, you should avoid:

a. bending

b. twisting

c. turning

d. moving

Explanation:

Safe heavy lifting guidelines advise against twisting the torso while holding a load, as this places excessive strain on the lower back and spine, increasing injury risk. Bending (with proper form like hinging at the hips) can be done safely, while controlled turning/moving is necessary to reposition loads.

Answer:

b. Twisting
